    Cryptography is the science of secret codes and ciphers. It involves a sender encrypting a plaintext message into ciphertext using an encryption algorithm and key, transmitting it, and the receiver decrypting it back into plaintext using a decryption algorithm and key. There are two main categories of cryptography: symmetric-key which uses the same key for encryption and decryption, and asymmetric-key which uses different keys.

    INTRODUCTION

    • Cryptography means “secret-writing”.

    • Cryptography is the science of writing in secret code.

    • Until modern times cryptography referred almost


    exclusively to encryption.
    CRYPTOGRAPHY COMPONENTS
    • Sender
    • Plaintext Sender Receiver
    sender receiver
    • Encryption
    • Ciphertext plaintext plaintext
    encryption
    Encryption decryption
    Decryption
    • Decryption ciphertext

    • Receiver
    PLAINTEXT AND CYPHERTEXT
    • PLAINTEXT is the original message

    • CYPHERTEXT is the transformed message

    • An Encryption algorithm transforms plaintext into


    cyphertext

    • A decryption algorithm transforms the cyphertext


    into plaintext
    CIPHER
    • Encryption and Decryption algorithms are
    known as cipher

    KEY

    • A key is a number or a set of numbers that


    the cipher operates on algorithms
    CATEGORIES OF CRYPTOGRAPHY
